BLACK ROSE

One of only 3,746 units produced, this solid state electronic (SS) machine features 3 flippers, 3 pop bumpers, 3 ramps, 3 3-bank standup targets and 2 or 3 ball multiball. The left ramp is a mechanically raised or lowered ramp. It is raised at certain times to load the ball cannon. The lower playfield has a below-the-playfield ball cannon (catapult-type) which oscillates when loaded, to be fired by the player pressing the fire button on the lockdown bar. The broadside VUK kicks the ball to the center habitrail above the playfield and sens it to the flippers. Designed by John Trudeau & Brian Eddy with art by Pat McMahon, dots/animation by Scott Slomiany, mechanics by John Krutsch & Ernie Pizarro, music & sound by Paul Heitsch and software by Brian Eddy. Fun fact: designer John Trudeau said the backglass art contains likenesses of himself and artists Greg Freres and Pat McMahon. Also, according to the book ‘Pinball Memories’, artist Pat McMahon created X-rated artwork for a version of backglass intended for an interested European market. The glass was never produced. Additionally, Bally had considered using black pinballs, but had to abandon the idea.
